Karongwe

Here, many couples choose to exchange their vows beneath ancient fig trees, with the Drakensberg mountain range framing the horizon and the bushveld as their witness. A celebration shaped by nature’s rhythm and cared for by people who know that true luxury lies in the details.

The fig trees are one of Karongwe’s most iconic ceremony settings - timeless, atmospheric, and deeply connected to the land. Their wide canopy offers a natural gathering place where light filters through the leaves and birdsong carries across the bushveld. With no electricity and no intrusion, the moment feels pure and grounded - marked only by the elements around you and the vows you choose to share. Confetti is gathered seeds, an arch of wood or steel frames your promise, and your exit is a safari vehicle carrying a “Just Married” sign into the wilderness.

A Karongwe wedding is never just a day. It is an immersion in the place, the people, and the pulse of Africa:

• Luxurious suites for the bridal couple, with views over rivers and bushveld.
• Daily game drives
• A honeymoon suite prepared with a romantic turndown and South African wine.
• A return invitation for your one-year anniversary - because your story with Karongwe doesn’t end with the ceremony.
• Each wedding here flows into a honeymoon safari - intimate, romantic, and alive with adventure.
